This thread will be posted again in taped form on Friday.
Drew McIntyre is married to former (fired) Diva, Tiffany. I don't know if the story with him and Kelly is meant to be some sort of shot at her. It seems like a relatively pointless one, if it is. Hell, I'd take Tiffany over Kelly in a heartbeat. Kelly just makes me ick, for some reason.
That said, I'm one of the few who really like McIntyre and hope something comes of this, whether it's some sort of face turn saving Kelly or him being an even more dickish heel (I rather like the character idea of a basically nice guy who gets overcompetitive and just loses control in the ring...although how you jive 'nice guy' with 'making Teddy long beg like a dog', I have no idea).
I thought it was mostly a good show. I think my favorite part was Miz selling the near punt, scrambling up the ramp in terror. He looked like he was about to puke. I'm sure some may read that as Miz coming off "weak", but, to me, they've spent years and years working to make Orton's punt and Orton himself established as deadly and crippling threats. A new champ, still getting his sea legs, -should- be terrified.
I'm finally starting to thaw towards Ziggler. I just don't think he has chemistry with Kofi for some reason (whom I've also completely lost interest in). The fat jokes with Vicki are really, really wearing thin, though, especially when she's clearly not much more than average weight. How many female members of the audience do they insult every time they call her fat? It's not that hard to point out Vicki's annoying, screeching voice and demeanor, which are the reason she got over as a heel in the first place. Stop making me sympathize with her, I already hate Cena enough.

Couples who are put together in wrestling storylines often end up together. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens enough that people are aware of the phenomenon.
I think WWE still actually likes Drew, but they really don't like Tiffany and this is their passive aggressive way of rooting for a divorce. Which is actually all kinds of icky.
Plus Tiffany had just tweeted a tweet on twitter about how she never wanted to go back to WWE if she had to sleep with people in power to get ahead. Ms. Insatiable is supposedly the jealous type, and the original fight that led to her release happened because she was mad at Drew for something he did at a Playboy party. So the story goes that they put him into an angle with Kelly on TV to drive her crazy.

Until he was tempted by the fruits of K8LYN that was basically Ziggler's deal. He hangs with Vickie even though she doesn't seem to use her consultant powers to enhance his career or act as a useful ringside accomplice very well, and he steadfastly refused to cheat on Maria with Michelle McCool. He's a nice guy who's also a bit of a dickhead. Maybe that's the in heel style right now.
Going back to Ted DiBiase Jr. for a moment: It is funny how at this time last year he was viewed as someone who was going to breakout from Legacy and become a main eventer by the summer of '10. Considering how poor he has been as a heel, perhaps rolling the dice on a face run for him would be an idea. Doubt it would work, but, they are short-handed and he's going nowhere fast as a heel.

Whereas Cody busted out springboard enziguris and moonsaults in his first match on SD. It seemed a crime to curtail him they way they did in Legacy, and it seems Dibiase doesn't have the higher gears to use for his singles run.

I look forward to Devil's Night next Saturday, October 29th with enthusiasm, with excitement... and with emotions mixed (and blended) like a fruit smoothie. This will be the first show that El Generico comes out as a heel.
